USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't f orce toolor attachment todoa jobforwhich
it was not
designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
If your product is equipped with a cord set, use only three-wire extension cords that
have three-prong
grounding-type
plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the
tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents may cover moving parts and
should also be avoided.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Aft users and bystanders
MUST ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at aft times. Loss of balance
may cause personal injury.
• MAINTAIN
TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest
performance.
Follow instructions
for lubricating
and changing
accessories.
Poorly
maintained blades and machines can further damage the blade or machine and/or
cause injury.
• TURN THE MACHINE
"OFF';
AND DISCONNECT
THE MACHINE
FROM THE
POWER SOURCE
before installing
or removing accessories,
before adjusting or
changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations. Do not touch the plug's
metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord. An accidental start-up can cause
injury.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure that the switch is
in the "OFF"position
before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure,
move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
• USE RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer
for your model Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool
may be hazardous
when used on another tool Consult the instruction
manual for
recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to persons.
• NEVER STAND ONTOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function--check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Damaged parts can cause
further damage to the machine and/or personal injury.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation
of the blade or cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.
• DO NOT OPERATE
ELECTRIC
TOOLS NEAR
FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS
OR IN
GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
Motors and switches in these tools may
spark and ignite fumes.
• STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO
NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious injury.
• DO NOT ALLOW
FAMILIARITY
(gained
from
frequent
use of your
saw) TO
REPLACE SAFETY RULES. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe injury.
Additional
Safety
Rules
for Table
Saws
,&WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Aft users and bystanders
MUST ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection.
,&WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
• AVOID AWKWARD POSITIONS, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into
a saw blade.
• NEVER REACH IN BACK OF, OR AROUND, THE CUTTING TOOL with either hand to
hold down the workpiece.
• KEEP ARMS, HANDS AND FINGERS AWAY from the blade to prevent serious injury.
• USE A PUSH STICK THAT IS APPROPRIATE
TO THE APPLICATION
TO PUSH
WORKPIECES THROUGH THE SAW. A push stick is a wooden or plastic stick, usually
homemade, that should be used whenever the size or shape of the workpiece would
cause you to place your hands within 6" (152 mm) of the blade.
• USE HOLD-DOWNS,
JIGS, FIXTURES
OR FEATHER BOARDS TO HELP GUIDE
AND CONTROL THE WORKPIECE. Accessories for use with your tool are available at
extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. Instructions for making a
push stick, a narrow rip auxiliary fence, a push block and feather boards are included in
this manual
• DO NOT PERFORM
RIPPING, CROSSCUTTING
OR ANY OTHER OPERATION
FREEHAND.
• NEVER reach around or over saw blade.
• STABILITY. Make sure the table saw is firmly mounted to a secure surface before use
and does not move.
• NEVER
CUT
METALS,
CEMENT
BOARD
OR MASONRY.
Certain
man-made
materials have special instructions for cutting on table saws. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations
at aft times. Damage to the saw and personal injury may result.
